Yes, but in the NT groff package, there *is* no groff command (the
wrapper didn't work under 'raw' NT, apparently). But with bash in
place, you can make an nroff as

#!/bin/sh
troff -Tascii $* | grotty

and then create a simple 'man' as something like

#!/bin/sh
nroff -man /usr/man/man*/$*.* | less
